The Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria hotel. Cape may. Easy simple check in with thirty minute parking next door to unload and unload your car. They give you a map showing parking or use the church parking lot next door for small donation. Church parking is well worth the money. $60 for three days and they will save your spot should you drive somewhere. We opted for Uber anyway and left car where it was. Rooms are beautifully appointed with four poster bed. Fridge in bathroom. Safe in closet. HOT water shower and bath. Good pressure. Air conditioning was a welcome sight. High tea was nice with a few crackers and cheese spread and some sweets. Was self serve. Breakfast is also self’s serve and you can sit outside or in weather dependent. Baked and eggs and cheese casserole one day and stuffed French toast on day two. This is not your normal big chain breakfast. Very good. Fresh fruit is always out as well as bread for toast. Rocking chairs for an evening of relaxing and people watching. Very enjoyable stay. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to serve and answer any questions. Outside doors are locked by key code and password is given at check in.

MY BDAY FALLS ON MEMORIAL Day weekend. My spouse and I hate crowds so we book a week in advance of the big opening weekend. It never fails to be tranquil and peaceful; exactly what I am after. We can mingle with the lovely staff and other couples or just have much needed quiet time, my favorite place in the World! Our little slice of heaven. We drive up no airplanes, no fuss no muss . Easy to relax. Our third stay coming up may 2025. Making traditions and memories.

This was our 15th stay at the Queen Victoria. Originally our honeymoon following our 2010 wedding, my wife and I have kept this as a tradition every summer and plan to do so for many more years. If you are reading this and are not familiar with the Queen Victoria, it is a fantastic bed and breakfast in Cape May, located 2 blocks from the beach, shops, and restaurants. I would highly recommend a stay at the Queen Victoria, as it is well worth it and the service is phenomenal. This year my wife and I stayed in the Charles Dickens room, which was our honeymoon room. Everything was wonderful, right down to the pot of tea you made for my wife every morning at breakfast. Our first day it rained buckets. Now that was not the bed and breakfast's fault. Suffice it to say, we did use their umbrella to walk the shops and take a trolley tour. The second and third day were definite beach days, which were extremely relaxing. Thank you so much to the staff of the Queen Victoria for facilitating such a great vacation for us. We'll see you next year. Scott and Maureen Smith

This was our seventh consecutive year. Our room was ready early so we were able to drop off our luggage and start our beach vacation. Ashley the best hostess made sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay including my favorite cereal. The place is very clean. The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating and in fact I had a question with the A/C and the maintenance worker arrived within less than 5 minutes to address it. They provided complementary new beach chairs and towels and my favorite - bicycles that I ride every morning. The pantry outside my room had also complementary soda, water, coffee and tea and ice. The breakfast is different each morning and the best is that 3PM afternoon tea/coffee and sweet homemade snacks that you cannot resist . It hits the spot. I was not able to enjoy the balcony outside my room this year due to the wind but it is great when the weather is nice to have drinks before heading out to dinner . Again Ashley makes great efforts to get to know each guest and make them feel welcome. I am already book for next year. Thank you Ashley and the rest of the staff for a great weekend.

This is a wonderful B&B. They offer afternoon tea, a great breakfast, free bottled water & soft drinks, & free bikes. All the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The only thing we would change is to add either tea sandwiches or scones to the afternoon tea, currently it’s crackers and sweets. Also be aware there is only metered parking near the B&B. We parked about a 5 minute walk to get a non-metered space.

We stayed in the Windsor room I was a good room. The only draw back is it's on the third floor and there is no elevator, a little difficult to carry the luggage. On the plus side the staff was great and very helpful. Breakfast was good and a pretty nice verity. Hotels has three different buildings and in a great location. Two block to the beach and two block to the Washington mall.

We just enjoyed another stay at the Queen. The staff, Jaime, Ashley, Monica, and everyone else, are all friendly, helpful, and make you feel welcome. Facility is clean and well kept as always. The location is great as you can walk to so much... restaurants, Washington Mall, beach, beautiful neighborhood. We look forward to returning.

Our stay was over New Year’s weekend. We were in the 2nd floor Princess Victoria room in the House of Royals building. We had a great experience here, from accommodations to lovely staff and everything in between. Our room was spacious with a super comfortable bed and pillows, and had a great balcony with rockers — though it was too chilly to enjoy them in this season. But what a treat that spot would be in warmer weather! We opened the roller shades and enjoyed having the room bathed in light, thanks to the double height windows. I love a room filled with natural light, and this room was definitely that (if you open the shades). Be aware that the bathroom window has a staircase/fire escape outside it, so you may want to only open the shade over the frosted glass portion. I was surprised to see a person’s head above the frosted portion as they walked down the stairs one day, LOL. The 2nd floor pantry was just steps away, and was stocked with a Keurig and water/sodas. So nice to not have to go downstairs every time we wanted coffee or tea! Overall a wonderful stay in a character filled Cape May landmark.

We recently stayed in a third floor suite in the House of Royals building of the Queen Victoria. Overall I will give high marks for comfort, cleanliness, and location. Our suite had two full bathrooms, two TVs , a sitting room with a pull out couch and electric fireplace , a bar area with fully stocked fridge, ample coffee/tea, and a wine cooler. High quality toiletries, fluffy towels, towel warmer racks and robes were all very much appreciated. Room climate control was excellent although the bathrooms were cold at night if the doors remained shut. There is a second floor pantry with more sodas, coffee, tea, sherry and fresh baked treats. The building itself was not particularly welcoming, though, old carpet, very steep staircases ( yes I know this is typical in big old Victorians) and a quirky entrance system. There’s a bit of an impersonal feel to the inn, which I didn’t expect having stayed at so many other Victorian b&b’s, and a couple of the staff were a bit gruff in their manner. Breakfasts were good, and are served in the different buildings including the one we stayed in, though there were slim pickings in the last half hour of service so I’d suggest eating early. Overall, the decor and atmosphere has a faded, generic and impersonal, kind of utilitarian style to it, maybe more of a Victorian hotel than an inn, with less art , antiques and collectibles than Is more typically found in Victorian b&b’s , at least in my experience . Also, note that street parking is likely a challenge off season, as only a handful of rooms offer parking. But these were are all minor issues for us, and the excellent location and quiet, good night’s sleep each night made for a very nice stay.
